Summary

Kissimmee Charter Academy is a K-8 charter school in Kissimmee, FL, serving 752 students within the Osceola district, and it stands out for serving an exceptionally high-needs population, with 96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch—a rate far higher than nearby schools like Cypress Elementary School (67%) or Wyndham Lakes Elementary (35%).

Despite its overall low state ranking (10th percentile), the school shows a fascinating "math paradox": while only 26% of 5th and 6th graders are proficient in grade-level math, an impressive 89% of students passed Algebra 1 and 100% passed Geometry—dramatically higher than the district (55% and 49%) and state averages. This suggests the school excels at accelerating its top math students into advanced courses, though it struggles with the general math curriculum. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a critical issue, with a rate of 35.7% in 2023-2024 that has more than tripled since 2019-2020, outpacing the district average of 34.9% and nearby schools like Boggy Creek Elementary School (27.7%).

On a positive note, recent data shows a glimmer of hope: 8th-grade students are now performing at or above district averages in ELA (56%) and math (63%), indicating that interventions may be taking effect in upper grades. The school also operates on a lean budget of $8,225 per student—roughly $4,000 to $7,000 less than nearby Osceola peers like Cypress Elementary School ($15,290) or Boggy Creek Elementary School ($13,486)—and its K-8 model allows it to offer advanced coursework not available at neighboring elementary-only schools. Given its extreme poverty and low spending, the school may be providing more value than its raw ranking suggests, particularly for older students.
